Join Travis Manion Foundation and the New York City Chapter as we close out the year with our annual veteran community walk/ruck—a powerful symbol of camaraderie and unity among veterans, their families, and community members.

This 4-mile round-trip can be adjusted to fit your individual pace or distance. This year, we’re rucking for a mission: bringing nonperishable food items in our rucksacks to donate to the Nassau County VetMart Food Pantry, which provides quality food items to veteran households experiencing food insecurity.

Ideas for pantry items are:

• canned goods

• rice

• pasta

• nut butters/nuts

• crackers

• coffee/tea bags

Details about an optional luncheon to follow will be shared soon.

Let’s end the year with purpose, gratitude, and connection, and welcome the New Year with hope for a prosperous future. All are welcome to be part of this meaningful tradition!

This project will honor the life and legacy of William and Timothy O'Connor, USA.
